[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#703380: libvirt-bin: needlessly recommends gawk

[brian m. carlson]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 1.0.1-4
Severity: normal

libvirt-bin includes several uses of awk.  However, none of those uses
require gawk; mawk will run them just fine.  Moreover, if one of those
uses *did* require gawk, it would fail to run on my system, since they
all invoke awk, which I have set to mawk using the alternatives system.

Since gawk is larger and slower, and unneeded since awk is a virtual
Essential package, please remove the Recommends on gawk.
